I made the mistake YEARS ago of buying some bargain-price strawberry-flavor ice cream that turned out to be formulated for diabetics, with an artifical sweetener. Which, when it went through my system, had about the same effect as if I had been eating baked beans, roadkill and old rubber tires. I not only read labels more intensely, but now in middle age, I’ve started taking reading glasses into the store with me.
The grocery store will take it back.
